(GRCAM: Fighting For My People That Want Our Help In Black America & Throughout The African Diaspora)

The sermon “The Charges Are Reversed” by Pastor Jamal Bryant coincide with what I wrote in my revised book (The Solution For Black America: Reclaiming, Rebuilding, And Restoring The Urban Ghettos In America) second edition which is available on Amazon. My book is the foundation of my virtual Christian organization the Grass Roots Community Activist Movement and we will carryout everything which I have written.

The Grass Roots Community Activist Movement is a new movement in Black America & throughout the African Diaspora in the digital age. GRCAM is a distinctive, comprehensive Christian socialist organization, centered in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and based in black liberation theology. GRCAM will take the lead to rebuild Black Wall Street within the inner cities of America if given a chance. GRCAM aim to equip black men and black women to serve and lead with integrity, creativity, competence and compassion in a diverse, interconnected and global economy.

A Christian socialist is a form of socialism based on the teachings of Jesus. Many Christian socialists believe that capitalism is idolatrous and rooted in greed, social inequality, and institutionalized racism which most Christian denominations consider a mortal sin. We will focus on what we stand for: love, compassion, social justice, and liberation theology.

Jesus told us to focus on the lease of these in society according to Matthew 25:35–40. He also commanded us to be a witness to others not just for us to read his word, but to activate social change in the world according to Luke 4:18–19. We will be committed to the healing ministry of Jesus by showing compassion to inner city youth and their families which will promote dignity to the people and community we will serve. We will promote an authentic form of Christianity which is Christian Socialism. We will emphasize the importance of morals and character development for both Christians and Non-Christians. We will also focus on strengthening the black family and focus on solving black issues by promoting a black economic agenda.

For 26 years established black organizations in the city of Chicago has refuse to work with me and yet none of our black leaders has a solution to end urban violence in the city of Chicago. To add insult to injury African Americans have been protesting and marching for equality and fairness in the United States for 52 years and still to this day institutionalized racism and police brutality still happening. Since 2001 over 4,000 people in the city of Chicago alone has been killed due to urban violence.

Today our elected black leaders have fail us they are all about themselves because they are being funded by the same group who created these social problems the financial elites. African Americans from the lower economic class who are suffering great harm from senseless violence, high unemployment, mass incarceration, police brutality, drug abuse, high illiteracy, inadequate healthcare and failing schools as a result of institutionalized racism how do it know because I experience it when I lived there.

My book is an auto-biography about my experience growing up in the inner city of Chicago. In my book I provide a 21st century plan on how my Christian organization will help eradicate urban violence in the city of Chicago and beyond while at the same time meet the social needs of the communities and families we will serve if given a chance.

I created the Grass Roots Community Activist Movement in order to promote a new movement in Black America and throughout the African Diaspora. After 15 years of being rejected and ignored by established black organizations in the city of Chicago I decided to write and publish my story (The Solution For Black America: Reclaiming, Rebuilding And Restoring The Urban Ghettos In America) second edition. In hopes of attracting 30 black middle class professionals and others within the United States who meet the criteria that I am looking for. Since Black America has rejected my plan to improve our inner cities in America my organization will be membership based and private.

Once I generate enough capital from my book sell and my upcoming film (Hood Liberator Made In Chicago) I will be in a better position financially to hire qualified people to join my management team then I will start my Christian business (GRCAI) the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute of Chicago as mention in my revised book. We will cover Austin, Garfield Park and North Lawndale on the Westside of Chicago and eventually expand to the Southside of Chicago as mention in my revised book.

It’s not my burden alone but rather a shared burden for I am just one black man with a vision and a plan, it takes a team to make a dream work. I am doing my best to get my message out to the public through my Youtube videos, my Social Groups, my Blog Postings, my online talkshow and now through my revised book and my future film Hood Liberator Made In Chicago. This is my contribution back to my community, society and throughout the African Diaspora.
